Clair Obscur: Expedition 33<\/a><\/em> is a leading contender for 2025\u2019s Game of the Year<\/a>, thanks in large part to its innovative gameplay and fascinating story, which are accentuated by a soundtrack that absolutely rips. And now you can own this OST on vinyl and CD, though you\u2019re going to have to wait a bit.<\/p>\n

Laced Records opened pre-orders Thursday for physical editions of Clair Obscur<\/em>\u2019s soundtrack<\/a>, headlined by the 6LP box set. Its 63 \u201cspecially mastered for vinyl\u201d tracks have \u201cbeen thoughtfully sequenced by composer Lorien Testard to reflect the game\u2019s three act structure,\u201d according to a news release<\/a>. Laced Records has an exclusive edition<\/a> featuring \u201cmulti-colour galaxy effect\u201d LPs in addition to the standard black version<\/a>. Both versions retail for $145.<\/p>\n

Of course, not all 154 tracks are included in the vinyl boxset, as they might need 15 LP to press eight hours of music. However, you can listen to the full soundtrack on streaming services<\/a>, or just listen to this eight-hour YouTube video<\/a> on repeat. (You won\u2019t regret it.)<\/p>\n

If a $145 price tag is making you feel a bit \u201cwhooo,\u201d a 2LP version is also available. For $42, you can get 20 tracks sequenced by composer Lorien Testard, including \u201cAlicia\u201d and \u201cUne vie \u00e0 t’aimer.\u201d Laced Records has an exclusive color edition<\/a> as well as standard black<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Completionists might want to snag the 8CD set<\/a> instead for $44. It\u2019ll include those 154 tracks as well as 23 bonus tracks, like the unreleased \u201cWhispers of Tomorrow,\u201d \u201cFor Those Who Come After,\u201d and \u201cUntil Next Life (Solo Voice).\u201d<\/p>\n

Laced Records is expecting all editions of the soundtrack to ship in February 2026.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While Laced Records has indicated \u201cpre-orders will be open for at least the next few weeks\u201d on Reddit<\/a>, you may want to order sooner rather than later; IGN<\/a> has exclusive variants, and its 6LP edition<\/a> is already sold out at the time of this writing.<\/p>\n

The announcement for the soundtrack was hinted at on Wednesday in a video from Jennifer English (Maelle) and Ben Starr (Verso), which you can check out below.<\/p>\n
